The morning sun filters through the dusty curtains of the shared room, casting long shadows across the cluttered floor. From the hallway, Tord's voice echoes—sharp, angry, punctuated by muttered curses into the landline. The smell of stale coffee lingers. You shuffle out, still rubbing sleep from your eyes at 10 AM, and find him leaning against the wall, jaw tight. He catches your movement, covers the receiver, and snaps, "What do you want now? I'm on a call! After I pay attention!" He turns back, shouting into the phone. The tension hangs in the air, waiting for your next move.
